The men in uniform with the tall white hats were the servers. All the highest ranking servicemen of the base served the food instead of the normal dining facility employees. It’s not every day you get to say to a Colonel “Give me a few more sweet potatoes…Uhhh…Please…Sir”
The bouquet of flowers on the left is radish flowers on cucumber stems in a squash/gourd vase.
Yep. That's all different food cut to look like plants. The initials are for the dinning facility.
This guy is decorated with frosting.
There were a couple ice sculptures too but I must not have got any pictures.
This soldier’s clothes are made of pineapple rinds and his binoculars are cucumbers.
Who needs Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade? In fact Macy’s could benefit from a soldier on a camel in their parade. By the way, this one is not edible.
This little Thanksgiving scene was intriguing.
Whoever made the big Indian in this scene not only confused the Indian with a feather for the Indian with a dot, but they also confused the length of arms with the length of legs.
This was all non-alcoholic beverage of course. There is no alcohol allowed to be consumed by service men in Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan. The sacrifice of serving your country means different things for some than what it means for others.
And there it is. My feast. It was amazing. If it hadn’t have been for all this effort, Thanksgiving day would have just been like any other day. The weather was really warm and Sunny. And Ryan Kohlbecker and I made an airport run road trip just like we did about every day for the two weeks after our squadron left.
